Titled "Salary".. it reads:

"Chewnet, hello I'm starting a new design biz and would like to know how much salary you make so i can compare. Thx for your time sorry if i bothered you."

Just tell them:

"I live in 10 bedroom mansion with a tennis court, swimming pools and the helicopter in for a service"

My finacial advisor says that if you need to see my accounts then a charge of $15,000 (USD) is needed in order to get our accountants to provide a true statement.

Please reply and I will give you our advisor his address for the cheque to be sent to.

End of story :)

tell them you make 1 million plus, and because you are helping them you require 50% of all revenues they make.

You could probably just tell him/her, it's unlikely that they would be competiton and who knows, maybe they can return a favor down the road someday :)

Who in their right mind would tell their competitor, also being a complete stranger, such a personal question?

Unless they loved to brag. ;)

It could legitimate, or just someone you know snooping. Either way it isn't really neccessary to answer directly.
I would reply (in case it is a legit question) with some generic statics, and maybe a link or two to some info on the subject.
That way it appears you are helping without giving out your personal info.
